Mother Nature meets
micro-robotics with Hexbug Nano. Designed to look and behave like a real
bug, Nano is actually a very cool little robot that uses the physics of
vibration to propel itself along and explore its environment. It runs,
it skitters in all directions, it flips over and then pops back on its
feet. There s no telling what Nano will do next! Real fun with real
science.

Flip the switch and let 'em go!
Is it that easy? You bet it is! And once you
show your little one where the on-off switch is, kids
can be left to enjoy their Hexbug Nano on their own with
out needing help from adults. And once these
little numbers are turned on, they are ready to rock and
roll. They run, they jitter, if they end up on
their back - they flip over! Absolutely amazing -
and absolutely easy! |

Durability is always a big concern
for us - and let's put it to you straight - we were
worried about this one. After a few hours of
playing with the Hexbug Nano, those worries were gone!
First off - the Hexbug Nano has a durable, rubber outer
"skin" that is designed to protect it from major crashes
and breaks. And the little guy just runs and runs.
We saw it fall off tables and desks, flip over and keep
going!
The only concern we ended with
was battery-life. We didn't see any drop-off in
the power while we played, but eventually the battery
will run out and you'll be forced to replace it.
Otherwise - no durability concerns. |

Take a Hexbug Nano, turn it on,
place it on the ground and watch the crowd gather!
They just look really cool - and when they are free to
run - they look even cooler! Awesome style that
kids of all ages (adults too) just love! |

Surprisingly enough, Hexbug Nano is
loaded with functionality. Sure - it is a robotic
bug - so it crawls around. The folks behind the
Hexbug Nano added an online component, and Habitat Sets
to build an environment for your Hexbugs to roam free
in. The idea is simple, but Hexbug Nano actually
goes out of its way to add functionality. |

With a retail price of $9.99, the
Hexbug Nano is fairly priced. At a quick glance,
we understand if parents think that it may be a bit high
- but play with this little guy - even just once - and
you'll see it's worth every penny! |

We've seen other robots before.
We've even seen other bug-like toys before. But
once you play with the Hexbug Nano you'll agree - this
is absolutely an original! Honestly, pick one up,
turn it on, watch it run and you will be happily
impressed and entertained! Now that's original! |

Hexbug Nano is really a fun
little toy that your kids will just love!
Hexbug Nano is super easy to use, looks absolutely
adorable and is fairly priced. And even though
it is just a simple little toy, the Hexbug Nano is
one toy that your kids just won't stop playing with
any time soon - and that says it all! |
